Procedure

{3-[2-(2,4-Dichloro-benzoyl)-3-methyl-benzofuran-6-yl]-phenyl}-acetic acid methyl ester (3160 mg, 6.97 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL), methanol (20 mL), water (10 mL), and lithium hydroxide (2650 mg, 110.65 mmol) was added to the solution. The mixture was heated at 50° C. for 3 h then cooled to room temperature. The volatile components were removed under vacuum and the pH of the resulting aqueous component was adjusted to 1 with HCl (1N). The aqueous layer was extracted several times with ethyl acetate and the combined organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and condensed under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by MPLC with a gradient of 0 to 30% methanol/dichloromethane to give {3-[2-(2,4-dichloro-benzoyl)-3-methyl-benzofuran-6-yl]-phenyl}-acetic acid as a brown solid (2540 mg, 52% two steps). MS LC-MS (MH+439.1/441.1).
